That depends on what happens in free agency. There's some pretty good defensive talent available. It will definitely have an affect on the draft strategy.

I'd search high and low for a top tier LB (see Vilma) in Free Agency.

Utah_Saint · 01-30-2017, 07:43 PM

I never realized he's the son of Dick Nolan.

Nolan was the Chargers LB coach in 2015... Melvin Ingram had a career best 10.5 sacks that season. Melvin Ingram's a free agent. Just thinking out loud here.

+1. Melvin Ingram would make sense. I'd still want Reuben Foster at #11 (if he is still there). I'm loading up at the position.

Volume just got turned up on the intensity meter.

Open mind an all of that, but Mike Nolan has bounced around a bit the last few years, each time taking a lesser role HC to DC to LB coach, including a stint in Atlanta as DC a couple seasons ago (or did y'all forget about that?) which wasn't anything extraordinary.

Former Saints Head Coach Dick Nolan's son, Mike Nolan is grateful for the support...

And for you LSU Homers, Nolan coached the linebackers (1985-86) including guys like All-American Great Michael Brooks, Eric Hill,

Let me think about it Mike Nolan or Joe Vitt......uh what was the question again.
